Verse 1
Flames dance in the dark like they know my pain
Paper curls slow, whispering your name
Ink runs black, turns to smoke in the air
Every word we wrote just disappears there
Pre-Chorus
I’m watching our history turn into dust
And wondering if you’re thinking of us
Chorus
Letters in the ashes, falling through my hands
Pages turning red like the love we had
Every promise we made, every line we signed
Going up in smoke, one match at a time
I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask
Are your letters in the ashes too?
Verse 2
Your handwriting still pulls me in like a tide
Even when I swore I’d leave it behind
I can smell the rain from that night in June
When forever felt like it came too soon
Pre-Chorus
I’m letting the fire take what’s left of you here
But I can’t shake the thought you’re doing the same, somewhere
Chorus
Letters in the ashes, falling through my hands
Pages turning red like the love we had
Every promise we made, every line we signed
Going up in smoke, one match at a time
I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask
Are your letters in the ashes too?
Bridge
Maybe you kept them, locked in a drawer
Maybe you burned them, can’t take them no more
But I’ll never know, and maybe that’s right
Some truths are meant to stay lost in the night
Final Chorus
Letters in the ashes, drifting through my hands
Pages turning red like the love we had
Every promise we made, every line we signed
Going up in smoke, one match at a time
I’m burning you away, but I can’t help but ask
Are your letters in the ashes too?
Outro
The fire fades slow, and I’m left in the dark
But the smoke still knows the shape of your heart
